''Lydonia'' was constructed as the 497-gross-ton steam yacht ''Lydonia II'' by Pusey and Jones in Wilmington, Delaware, as Hull #348 under contract #1205 for William A. Lydon, commodore of the Chicago Yacht Club, and was more than 250 gross tons larger than the ''Lydonia I'' completed for Lydon just two years earlier. Named in honor of Lydon's family and Lydon's second yacht of the name, ''Lydonia II'' was designed by William A. Gardner, with construction started in early April 1911. She was launched on 25 July 1911. Fitting out took nine months, with sea trials taking place on on 1 May 1912.
